This note is mostly a stub to catch references to Venns around my other notes.
Venn Diagrams are one of the first and most fundamental kinds of [[Diagram Types (index)|diagrams]] you learn about. They represent [[Boolean Logic]] well. So well, in fact, that things like **truth tables** and Karnaugh Maps could be thought of as Venn Diagrams.
Interestingly I've never seen a [[Diagrams as Code]] solution for Venn Diagrams.
Venn Diagrams are technically different from [[Euler Diagram]]s, but I would probably used the two terms interchangeably in any but the most pedantic of contexts.
# Limitations
- Venn Diagrams stop being useful if you're drawing more than ~7 circles, and depending on how you draw them they may be hopeless with anything beyond ~3 or 4 circles.
- If you have a lot of categories that don't intersecting data, then a [[Euler Diagram]] is what you want
- Don't represent conditionals well
